Fried green tomatoes are pretty awesome, especially when dipped in a home made cashew sour cream or ranch dressing. I have added diced green tomatoes to chili before.There are several recipes using green tomatoes in the cook book 660 Curries. You could probably google "Indian green tomato recipes" if you don't have that book.

I had dinner at johnp's last week and he made an awesome green tomato pie - Pretty sure it was a regular pie crust filled with sliced green tomatoes tossed with a touch of brown sugar, salt, and pepper, topped with a bread crumb/margarine topping and baked. It was so amazing.

i made that green tomato and lentil stew from the kitchn, and it isn't as good as i was expecting. (but then i did use expired toor dal and expired brown rice, so that might have a little to do with it. neither seemed all that bad though, so i took a chance.) there was definitely too much water, even without adding that extra cup of water, so i had to add about 1/2 cup of chickpea flour slurry to make it less watery. i didn't have the sambar, so i added the major spices that make up the sambar, so that was okay.

today i am going to make chili, because i also picked a large amount of peppers. do any of you have a favorite tomatillo salsa recipe? i figure a big batch of that could take a good portion of these greenies.

No. Not amazing. Last year I attempted a green tomato pie that was supposed to replicate apple pie. It was a disaster. Which was sad because my crust turned out pretty nice. But the filling was revolting.

Yeah, green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes that, if left on the vine, would eventually turn red (or yellow, or purple), but at the end of the season there are always green tomatoes left that will freeze and never ripen if left on the vine. Tomatillos are a different plant. They grow inside a papery covering, and I'm pretty sure will never turn anything other than a lighter shade of green.

oh, no. sorry for the confusion, linanil. i read somewhere that green tomatoes could be used as a substitute for tomatillos.(but there are other color tomatillos. i know i had seeds for purple tomatillos that i never got around to planting.)

i made spaghetti sauce. not bad! i think next time i will add a bit more spices. (i was afraid of overspicing it, and it's a little dull. still tasty though.) they REALLY cooked down. looks like pesto. (i used garlic, lightly caramelized some onions, olive oil, basil, oregano and nooch. i think i may add some fennel and/or red pepper flakes next time. the recipe i was loosely following said to add sugar, and i added only like 1-2 tbsp, and that was plenty. used a potato masher instead of the blender recommended in the recipe.)
